Key Topics to Revise

1

Rigid Body and Centre of Mass

  • A rigid body is an ideal object where the distance between any two particles remains constant during motion.
  • Centre of mass (CM) is the point where the entire mass of a system appears to be concentrated.
  • The CM moves as if all external forces act directly on it, simplifying motion analysis.
2

Rotational Motion and Moment of Inertia

  • Rotational motion involves all particles moving in concentric circular paths around an axis.
  • Moment of inertia (I) is rotational analogue of mass in linear motion.
  • I depends on mass distribution and axis of rotation.
3

Torque, Angular Momentum and Conservation

  • Torque is rotational analogue of force; causes angular acceleration.
  • Torque = r × F; magnitude is rF sinθ.
  • Angular momentum (L) is rotational analogue of linear momentum.
4

Combined Translational and Rotational Motion

  • Rolling motion combines translation of CM and rotation about CM.
  • For pure rolling without slipping, v = Rω and a = Rα.
  • Total kinetic energy = translational KE + rotational KE.
